About this property

Welcome to your perfect Vermont getaway! Located just 2.1 miles (a quick 5-minute drive) from Okemo Mountain’s main base, this spacious Ludlow Village home sleeps 8 and offers the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and four-season adventure. Nestled on a quiet street with beautiful mountain views, the home is just steps from the VAST snowmobile trail and the Okemo Resort shuttle stop—so you can skip the parking hassle and head straight to the slopes.

Whether you're skiing at Okemo, day-tripping to Killington, Magic, Bromley, or Stratton (all ~30 minutes away), or enjoying Ludlow's vibrant dining and après-ski scene—including favorites like The Loft, Main & Mountain, and The Killarney—you’re always close to the action. We’re proud to be a guest favorite—families and small groups return year after year for the home’s welcoming charm, comfort, and unbeatable location.

Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms: a master with queen bed, a second queen room, and a fun “Bunk Room” with four twin beds—perfect for kids or extra guests. The interior is cozy, clean, and designed for easy living. Stay connected with high-speed Comcast Wi-Fi and cable, and enjoy a fully stocked kitchen that opens to a small deck and private backyard—complete with a grill and outdoor seating for warm-weather meals. We even have a desk, monitor/printer setup for those that need to work while away.

There’s ample driveway parking for 4+ cars or 2 trucks with sled trailers, making it perfect for families, ski groups, or snowmobilers. Plus, a downstairs game room with a ping pong table keeps the kids entertained after a day of fun.

Summer and fall visitors will love nearby golf at Fox Run Golf Club, scenic hikes, Buttermilk Falls and Echo Lake. The owner's personal favorite is Long Trail Brewery which is a beautiful 25 minute drive away. Great for apres and during the spring/fall to sit out on the porch by the river enjoying live music and good beer.

Book your stay today and experience the best of Vermont in every season—your mountain home away from home awaits.

What a great house

Everything was great. The instructions were very clear and helpful. The house had everything we needed and the location was close to everything but far enough that it was a nice quiet street.

Great stay at Joe’s place in Ludlow

We had a great stay at Joe’s place for a ski weekend in Ludlow. The house had plenty of space and everything you need. It was super convenient to Okemo and to all of the great happenings in the Ludlow area. Joe is also a great host. We would absolutely stay here again.

We had a great stay here! Great communication from the start and super easy check in. House was clean and well stocked and in a very quiet area. 5-6 to the mountain and pretty much anything else in town. We would absolutely stay here again to ski Okemo in the future.

Cute little 'star' house

I stayed here with my family for a few days during winter and it was a great location - very close to downtown Ludlow and maybe 5 minutes to Okemo. The house is clean and accurately depicted. The kitchen is very well stocked! Bed rooms were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets to keep nice and warm.The bunk room is perfect for kids. My kids also loveddd the downstairs ping pong table and while we were there affectionately called the house the 'star' house. They wanted to come back to star house soon.

Great house for a party of eight!

We enjoyed our three night stay for New Year’s Eve! The house was just the right size for two families with four teens. The living room was cozy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pellet stove was nice at night but it was difficult to start. We appreciated the quick responses to our questions. We would stay here again!

Great house

The house was absolutely wonderful! Within minutes from leaving Okema we were able to relax on the cozy couch in front of a fire. Joe was wonderful communicating with us to ensure we had everything we needed. I have to say the house had absolutely everything we needed and more!! Highly recommend this home, close to everything, comfortable with plenty of space. The wi fi and smart tv allowed us to sit back at night and watch movies after skiing all day. Thanks again!!

Great Vacation

Highly recommend the house. Came with my family (2 adults, 3 children). The kids loved the bunk room and exploring outside. House was well stocked with what you would need and very clean. The owner was attentive and answered any questions we had. Very close to town and the ski mountain. Plan on coming back again.

Cozy, comfortable ski getaway

Our family of 4 stayed for 4 weeks this season and absolutely loved it! Joe was very communicative and made the entire rental process very easy for us. The house itself was a very simple 5-minute drive to Okemo mountain and 2-minute drive into downtown Ludlow. It is on a great, quiet street with a nice backyard where the kids could play in the snow after a day of skiing. It also backs up to some woods and a creek which offer some scenery and privacy and gave the kids a little area to explore. The house was very clean and warm, and offered plenty of space for us to be able to spread out during our semi-extended stay. We found everything we needed available to us for preparing all our own meals at home. There were plenty of dishes, pots, pans and utensils. The furniture was comfortable and the house itself was very inviting and pleasant to come home to after a long day on the mountain. We greatly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave. This is a great property and we look forward to getting back next season!

Perfect Home Base for Skiing at Okemo Mountain Resort

Great home base for skiing at Okemo (less than 10 minutes). We stayed 3 nights. The neighborhood is quiet and the streets are well plowed so it makes getting to the mountain very easy in the morning. Entry into the house was easy, there was multiple key sets which helped with having a ski/non-ski group. The house was clean and neat. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels, sheets and blankets available. Closest had tons of hanging space so there wasn't a need to live out of a suitcase. Comfortable living room couch and chair. Nice sound system to listen to music if desired. Water pressure in the shower was great and there was plenty of hot water (awesome with a group of 4 skiers). The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of glasses, cookware, utensils and a coffeemaker. There were board games and tons of reading material if you got stuck inside. The house gets great natural light in the kitchen and the blackout shades in the living room are a nice touch. Also, there were trail maps and mountain guides which came in handy planning. Large parking area where you could fit 3+ cars. Pellet fire place was a plus as it was easy for all people to use/put out at night. A couple things of note that were minor: no ceiling fans/lights in the bedrooms (floor lamps and table lamps), only one mirror in the bathroom (stayed with 3 women so only one time it was an issue), bedroom #2 only had one side table due to limited space. Overall it was a great stay and Joe, the owner, was attentive and accommodating. The rental binder made everything so much easier and addressed every FAQ. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Ruszkowski

Hi! We’re a Vermont-loving family who’s been making memories in Ludlow for years. This cozy mountain town has become our home away from home—a place where we come to slow down, reconnect, and soak up all the beauty each season has to offer. Whether we’re skiing at Okemo in the winter, hiking local trails, swimming at Echo Lake, or grabbing our daughters’ favorite maple creemees in the summer, Ludlow never fails to bring us joy.

We’ve created this vacation home as a place for others to experience that same magic—comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly located for adventure and relaxation. It means so much to us to be able to share this special place with fellow travelers and families looking to create their own unforgettable memories.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
